Outstanding Ottawa
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 18 October 2010
I never thought much about Ottawa. I knew it was the capital of Canada and that they had some sports teams, but other than that it wasn’t ever on my radar. When I thought of places I wanted to visit in Canada, destinations like Vancouver, Calgary, Banff, Montreal, Quebec City, the Maritime Provinces all [...]

Call it a Canadian crusade, a patriotic pilgrimage or a jingoistic jaunt, but a visit to one's national capital is a must. My last visit to Ottawa, capital of my native Canada, was way back in high school. Since then, i'v spent the majority of my adult life living and working overseas.

Road tripping in Canada – Day one
Blog: Emerald Dreams Photography - 4 September 2010
It has been way too long since I had an adventure. I think the last one was when I went up to Boston for a week. Not that I could claim that was an adventure, more like a week away from work. Wanderlust setting in, I needed to go on a road trip, adventure, travel, … Read more

Recycling, the possibilities are endless
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 12 June 2009
Had the usual stress of barely leaving myself enough time to get to the station, also as usual (apart from Vegas, but there were mitigating circumstances there!) I just made it. I appear to have lost a 70 tonne white whale. I can’t find Moby Dick. It’s not the end of the world as it’s [...]

I timed the last duration between ad breaks, 7 mintues 21 seconds. Then the adverts last close to 5 minutes, the film length is nearly doubled. It’s also [...]
